Epimedium 'Fairy Wings' Sichuan Epimedium

Charming, rose pink flowers open in loose sprays from mid spring. Each flower is around 3-4cm across.
The leaves are made up of oval, mid green leaflets, each 5-8cm long and have scattered hairs on the underside. They will grow to form generous clumps providing an effective ground cover.
Epimediums are clump forming rhizomatous, semi evergreen perennials native to woodland areas. They grow best in moist, humus rich, sandy soils. Plant in a part shade to bright light position.
Epimediums are good for planting beneath trees, in shaded borders, as shady ground covers or in well cared for pots.
Fertilise and mulch Epimediums in winter, they love the soil to be rich in composting leaves so don't hold back with dumping them on when they fall in autumn. Divide your Epimedium clumps every 3-5 years and don't forget to protect new foliage from slugs and snails.
Cut back your Epimedium foliage late winter or spring, to allow the new leaves and flowers to shine. Just as you would a Hellebore/Winter Rose. Epimediums are also known as Bishop's Hats and Horny Goat Weed.
